Morgan Silver Dollar Money Clip Sale price795.00

American silver, engineered for daily carry.

This money clip begins as a genuine 19th-century Morgan Silver Dollar, minted between 1878 and 1904 and selected only in Bright Uncirculated (BU) or About Uncirculated (AU) condition. These coins retain strong detail and integrity—essential for both form and function.

Unlike simple stamped clips, this piece is created through a multi-stage forging process designed to produce lasting strength:

  1. The coin is first forged into a solid ring
  2. The ring is stretched and precisely cut
  3. The silver is folded into its final clip form
  4. Edges are refined and polished by hand

Throughout this process, the silver is intentionally work-hardened, increasing its spring tension so the clip maintains its grip over time. This prevents the gradual loosening common in softer or cast clips and ensures it continues to hold bills securely with daily use.

Finish: Offered exclusively in Polished, bringing the silver to a clean, mirror-bright surface that highlights its clarity and craftsmanship.

This is not an accessory meant to be replaced.

It is a functional artifact built to age with use.

The Morgan Silver Dollar

  • Years Used: 1878–1904
  • Composition: 90% silver, 10% copper
  • Designer: George T. Morgan
  • Condition: Bright Uncirculated (BU) or About Uncirculated (AU) only

Struck during America’s rise as an industrial power, the Morgan Silver Dollar became a symbol of confidence, durability, and national ambition. Its size, relief, and silver content make it especially well-suited for transformation into functional heirloom pieces.

Only 19th-century coins with preserved detail are used—never worn, average circulated, or modern reproductions.

Forged for tension. Refined for longevity.

Creating a money clip that holds its shape requires more than forming silver—it requires controlled hardening through use of force and repetition.

The forging rite includes:

  • Ring formation to establish structural integrity
  • Stretching and cutting to control grain direction
  • Folding and shaping to create spring tension
  • Progressive work-hardening to prevent long-term loosening
  • Hand refinement of all edges and surfaces

This process ensures the clip maintains its grip over years of daily use—without becoming loose, warped, or unreliable.

Prepared as a functional heirloom.

Your money clip arrives thoughtfully presented:

  • Secure outer mailer
